Beverly Hills Cop II starring Eddie Murphy was released on May 20th, 1987 so for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, a song from the movie soundtrack from The Jets with “Cross My Broken Heart”.
The return of Eddie as Axel Foley was once again box office magic, even if the critics didn’t love it. The movie made $299 million dollars worldwide and like most films in the 80’s spawned another soundtrack album!
The Beverly Hills Cop II Soundtrack was certified platinum and featured Bob Seger’s “Shakedown”, George Michael with “I Want Your Sex”, and The Jets with “Cross My Broken Heart” a song that went to #7 on the charts in ’87.
The video for the song was the first to be shot at Paisley Park and while it doesn’t include scenes from the movie, it does show “Beverly Hills Cop II” on the movie marquee. It’s The Jets with “Cross My Broken Heart” today’s Forgotten 45.
